The blame for culpability in the Trump regime's rise to power falls onto many different people and groups that absolutely includes the voters.
She was a fantastic choice -and here's the important part- compared to Trump.
Without that contrast, she was shit. Our options were a spoonful of shit vs a mountain of shit. The DNC is responsible for running a spoonful of shit, but the voters are responsible for choosing the mountain.
Should the DNC run people who aren't shit? YES. Please, yes. But that's not what we got.
All the rights we've lost under Trump, the economic collapse he's causing, the deaths he enthusiastically did nothing to prevent in Ukraine/Gaza, the families that have been torn apart by ICE... the voters could have stopped that. The voters chose to let it happen.
Is there a lesson to be learned here? Yeah. Several. Will that lesson actually stick where we need it to (to the DNC)? Lol fuck no. The DNC won't learn shit until we break out the guillotines. But in the meantime, we the voters need to be more strategic with our resources, which includes decision making like deliberately stepping on a turd if that puts us on a path around the mountain of shit.
